Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility


Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices.

Teachers:

  1. advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources

  2. address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies and providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources

  3. promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information

  4. develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools




Artifacts:
  • This example addresses indicator 4.1. It is the Advanced Placement Studio Art Curriculum and was approved by the AP CollegeBoard in 2007. Included in the curriculum is the acknowledgment of copyright laws and infringements and this is stressed in all aspects of AP Studio Art.

  • Indicator 4.2 is covered on this website. The kids work through an online “webquest” like exploration of the online periodic table of elements. They access a website that has an interactive periodic table. They answer questions about the elements as they explore the table. They hear the different pronunciations of the element names. They explore visual pictures of the elements. They read material about the uses of the elements. All along, they are using the computer throughout the activity.

  • This teacher created website demonstrates the documentation of sources used. Information that was taken from other sites was documented in an effort to site the intellectual property of others.

  • This wiki site for an English project documents a borrowed youtube video and song lyrics demonstrating digital etiquette.
